Did you get your attention? Doesn't sound very frugal does it?
Well, that title isn't entirely true. I don't have any special powers to cook only exactly what we will eat at every meal. However, we do have a system to deal with the leftovers.
Immediately following our meals, we pack up the leftovers in small to medium sized plastic dishes. Then we throw them into the freezer on the bottom shelf.
Hubby always takes a packed lunch to work (I do most of the time as well). The night before, I simply take a dish out of the freezer and pack it in his lunch bag. By the time he has lunch the next day, it is almost thawed and easily reheated in the microwave.
We use all the leftover food, hubby has a good lunch and we save money by not paying for lunch. Winner all the way around.
Plus, we never have to plan a leftover night!!!
